Students will be given two weeks to develop
the first draft of the paper. The instructor will review and provide written
feedback on how well the students satisfied the requirements for each criterion
(content, organization, writing mechanics, citations and references) outlined in
the rubric. The instructor will also discuss with students orally the written
comments/suggestions made if necessary. Once the students are clear about what
improvements are needed, they will be given another week to revise and prepare
the final copy. Students will read their papers to the class and receive from
their peers an evaluative score as additional feedback. This evaluation,
however, will not influence the final grade which is based on the instructorsí
assessment of the written paper.
